Uttarakhand vigilance director and Additional Director-General of police Ashok Kumar announced reward of Rs 20, 000 for information on the whereabouts of Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA) assistant engineer TP Nautiyal who has been absconding for some days since his name got embroiled in a bribery case.
A Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority supervisor Amit Kumar who was arrested by vigilance for taking a bribe of Rs one lakh from the complainant lakshmichand, resident of Majra, revealed later during interrogation that he had taken the bribe at the behest of Nautiyal.
Sources said that the vigilance team has pasted notice in the fugitive’s house. Nautiyal’s mobile phone is also being kept on surveillance. The district court has already issued non-bailable warrant against Nautiyal. Police said
they have spread a net to nab the absconder.
It should be mentioned here that Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority supervisor was arrested on the charge of accepting bribe of Rs 1 lakh from complainant on February 3. Vigilance team had recovered around Rs 7 lakhs, bank accounts and other property- related documents from his home. Things looked odd, given the fact that he is earning around Rs 20, 000 per month.
